Rightwingnutbloggers Mad That Stars They Despise Won't Come Out for Trump's Inauguration

Last edited Wed Dec 28, 2016, 09:53 AM - Edit history (1)

Even if you don’t follow politics, you’ve probably heard that those charged with assembling talent for The Leader’s installation on January 20th have not had much luck: After several high-profile refusals, they have thus far engaged only the Normon Sabernacle Choir, the Rockettes, and TV talent show runner up Jackie Evancho.

Yet rightbloggers, whenever they talk about the celeb shortfall, become extremely agitated. Though they are about to assume complete control of the federal government, it seems that as long as someone in this great land of ours isn’t kissing their ass, they can’t be happy.

Since shortly after The Leader’s victory, a team of show biz experts has been working to sign up appropriately boldface-name performers for his inauguration. But Garth Brooks fell through, as did Celine Dion, as did (despite an erroneous report from The Leader’s team) Elton John. This pattern prevailed until the press was talking less about who might perform at the event and more about who had already declined to do so, and soon Alec Baldwin was trolling The Leader with an offer to perform an AC/DC song.

Good attention...bad attention...any attention...all the attention.

He thrives on it. Cut off his supply.

Attention is like heroin to Trump. Loss of attention will have him climbing the walls like a junkie going through withdrawal.

The Dull Leader has 18 million followers. President Obama has 80 million followers (but not many of them are Russian, so Trump Fredovich has that going for him.) I suggest that those who are on Twitter ( I'm not) point out the numbers discrepancy at every opportunity.

She can sing a whiny tune while standing on her head, showing everyone what color bloomers she's wearing that day.

Doesn't the KKK have a band? I think they play only two songs - "Dixie" and "The Old Rugged Cross," (which, of course, they have to burn immediately following the song.) Does David Duke tap dance? This could be quite a show, and the limited TV audience would feel right at home.
